Global Reference Data and Analysis on Internal Displacement

ABOUT
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) maintains a core, open dataset on internal displacement, widely used across the humanitarian system to track displacement and inform decision-making. With support from CRAF’d, the project strengthens the systems that underpin this dataset, including the Global Internal Displacement Database and Internal Displacement Updates. By enhancing data infrastructure, coverage, and partnerships, it supports a more consistent, accessible, and globally comparable picture of internal displacement across contexts.
OBJECTIVES
The project improves how internal displacement data is produced and used. It automates workflows to enable more timely updates and expands data products for broader access. It strengthens historical data to support analysis and forecasting. It also expands monitoring capacity and collaboration to improve data quality, interoperability, and its application in decision-making for crisis response and longer-term solutions.
CRAF’d support helped IDMC to deliver high-quality displacement data, which enables system-wide responses from early warning and funding decisions to policies and programmes.
